In this plan, the teacher will share with the students the importance of feelings. The students will be exploring ways of expressing different emotions. The class will have a play dough project that they will do a variety of play dough recipes through video presentation and the teacher will post the videos on the website/blog site. The students will also answer the E-workbook depicting different types of emotions. After which, they will then become aware of their own ways of expressing what they feel by answering the activities in their E-workbooks. Parents will also be involved in helping their children to identify situations that convey feelings. Then, the school will invite some less fortunate children to come and see “Clancy the Clown” perform for everybody.
